I loved to draw as a kid growing up in Iowa and also enjoyed finding wildflowers in the woods. Since art college, I've worked from my home studio in Minneapolis area for a variety of clients. In recent years I explored creating illustrations in my graphic style of wildflowers and plants. My inspiration comes from the Arts and Crafts Movement, particularly in textiles and tiles.

Craftsman looked to native plants for decorative art themes. Rather than rendering them realistically, they eliminated detail and simplified the plants to abstract forms. I also prefer to draw from plants and wildlife around me in the Midwest. I draw them over and over until I find its essence in just a few lines.

I call my style Craftsman Nouveau art because it has its roots in tradition, but I give it a clean modern look to fit in contemporary lifestyles. My strength is in my simple elegant lines in rich color palettes.

My mission is to create beautiful and unique cards, prints, textiles and art for products for you to enjoy.
